Three days and an hour more than you think, because it's the weekend, and an extra day because the public holiday for tomorrow may or not be a working day. Oh and there was a timezone change.
- bonedangle 6y agoAnd it's December 31st.. Still shocked by how many times I see a year rollover go bad.
- unilynx 6y agoEven before the rollover it get's bad. I had a CI failure on 31 December 2018 for code which worked fine on 31 December 2017, because it was the first time for that code to have Dec 31 in week 1 of the next year. And last year someone else's code failed on 30 December 2019, so I had a pretty good idea where to look. Still need to fix a bug in code written only yesteryear because the 1st of July wasn't on a Monday this year, but I decided to snooze that test failure ... it'll work fine again in 9 years.

- reggieband 6y agoPeople joke, but I worked on a calendar application (well, it was a time series graph) where a leap second caused a rendering bug.
